Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #59

Just read Blindsight. I really loved it! It felt like if Solaris took place in a plausible vision of our own near future. Pretty scary stuff, and reflects a lot of anxieties that seem more intense in 2024 than they would have in 2007. Nearly all the characters are some flavor of mentally expanded transhuman, but they still feel like real people. I also loved the depiction of ayylmaos, though I took some of the characters' ideas about them as POV statements based on incomplete information, rather than objective facts.
